Quote From: lekqueniRacism comes about when a few of the worst examples are used to judge a whole race of people.
You should really look into statistics on crime, poverty, unemployment, out of wedlock births, etc. It all relates to character, not skin color. Contrary to narrow-minded viewpoints and negative media portrayals, Africans Americans are not plagued with an immorality gene, promiscuity, or a lazy gene.
Roughly half of all Black children do live in a two-parent household. More than half of welfare recipients are Caucasians. As for unemployment rates, the U.S. Dept of Labor defines an unemployed person as one who is actively seeking employment. And unfortunately, the number of unemployed Blacks as defined by the Dept of Labor is consistently twice as high as Caucasians.
I don't know were you get more then half of the recipients on welfare are Caucasian. I live in Calif, and it doesn't work that way out here.
Case in point, about five years ago when my husband was unemployed we went and applied for food stamps. That all we needed we just wanted help in buying food for the family. I was setting in in one of the cubicles and over heard a case worked telling a black woman not to claim her child support because she would not get welfare benefits. I was told to sell my car ( which is needed to get to work) and to cash in my 401K.
So don't tell me there are more whites on welfare than anyone else. Go to a welfare office in CA, you won't see that many caucasians.
